Equipment
- Ideally, use an espresso machine to brew your coffee and steam the milk. Alternatively, use a cafetiere (French press) to make the espresso. And the milk can be warmed in a pan on the hob or in a velvetiser if you have one.
Ingredients
- 140 ml whole milk or your favourite non-dairy milk
- 75 ml espresso coffee
- 30 ml Caramel syrup
- ¼ teaspoon Vanilla extract
- ⅛ - ¼ teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
- Fill your serving cup with freshly boiled water to heat through.
- Measure the milk, vanilla, salt and caramel syrup into a steaming jug. Steam the milk until foamy (alternatively, heat the milk and foam it manually)
- Use 18g of espresso powder to brew 75ml of espresso. Dispose of the hot water in the serving cup and pull the espresso into the warm cup.
- Pour the steamed salted caramel milk into the prepared coffee. Stir and serve immediately with toppings of your choice.
Notes
- If this is the first time you are making this caramel latte recipe, start with ⅛ teaspoon of sea salt, taste your caramel coffee and add in an extra ⅛ teaspoon of salt if desired.
- Don’t allow the milk or coffee to boil as this will make the coffee taste bitter and your salted caramel latte will be too hot to enjoy.
- Vary the strength of the coffee, the level of salt and the amount of caramel syrup used according to your own tastes. (It’s a good idea to make notes each time you prepare the drink until you perfect the proportions for your sweet-spot.
- Measure the salt carefully so that you don’t accidentally add in too much.
- Warm your serving mug by filling it with freshly boiled water while the drink is prepared. Your drink will be a better temperature if you do.
- To make an iced salted caramel latte brew the espresso coffee and stir in the salt and caramel syrup. Pour this into a tumbler filled with ice. Add the milk and then any toppings that you fancy.
